By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much. 

Have you ever found yourself struggling with information overload? Have you ever felt both overworked and underutilised? Do you ever feel busy but not productive? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is to become an essentialist. In Essentialism, Greg McKeown, CEO of a leadership and strategy agency in Silicon Valley who has run courses at Apple, Google and Facebook, shows you how to achieve what he calls the disciplined pursuit of less.

Se você se sente sobrecarregado e ao mesmo tempo subutilizado, ocupado, mas pouco produtivo, e se o seu tempo parece servir apenas aos interesses dos outros, você precisa conhecer o essencialismo. Neste livro, Greg McKeown mostra que, para equilibrar trabalho e vida pessoal, não basta recusar solicitações aleatoriamente: é preciso eliminar o que não é essencial e se livrar de desperdícios de tempo. Devemos aprender a reduzir, simplificar e manter o foco em nossos objetivos. O essencialista toma as próprias decisões - e só entra em ação se puder fazer a diferença.

Estamos condicionados a creer que el camino del éxito está lleno de trabajo; que si queremos superarnos tenemos que sobrepensar, hacer de más y sobresforzarnos; que si no estamos exhaustos todo el tiempo no estamos haciendo lo suficiente. Sin embargo, últimamente trabajar duro es mucho más cansado que antes y entre más agotados estamos menos progresamos.
